CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE MODEL DIRECTLY
The Model helps you write your own integrated development project.
The model is built into your main project index. The index leads you step by step through the
preparation of your own self-financing, ecological, sustainable integrated
development project. The files in the index contain possible texts for your project. You may be able to use some of
them without making many changes. Where
necessary, the texts have to be changed
to suit the needs of the people living in your project area.
The model programme, your project index, is divided into several sections. All the
sections put together form your project. You can complete the sections of the
programme in any order. You can complete the files within each section in any
order.
The main project index gives you an overview of your project files. The files are interlinked
to help you find your way from one project document to another. You can
directly open any file.
MORE
INFORMATION : SOME USEFUL GROUPS OF
FILES
Short introductions to your
project and instructions on how to get started.
Short summaries, including an executive summary, with
basic information on your project. This
group of files includes instructions on how to get a project started. It also
contains an illustration of the formalities necessary to set up project
execution.
Illustrations of your project
structures.
Charts, drawings and diagrams illustrating the main
features of your project. They are available both in English and in French.
Fund-raising and your funding
application.
This section includes some basic tips for fund-raising
and a menu of files useful in applying for seed funding for your project.
Presentations of your project
using Powerpoint and Transparents. This group of files includes course material
for local money systems.
Lists of abbreviations, drawings and illustrations,
maps, key words and acknowledgments. This group also includes files with
information on the applicant NGO and on the project coordinator, environmental
reports, and evidence of the support of local civil society for your project.
Attachments to your project
documents.
A list of documents with
information supporting your project. The list provides extra information on
concepts and technologies used in the Model, such as information on the work of
the Brazilian sociologist Clodomir Santos de Morais, local money systems,
micro-credit systems, some recommended appropriate technologies, and hygiene
education courses.
Articles published on specific
aspects of the Model under which your project has been drafted.
The list includes articles on
policy aspects, the use of alternative energy, micro-credits, and drinking
water supply.
The working files are split up
into operative sections so that you can work on them. Their names end with the
word “work”. To start with, their texts are identical to those proposed in your
main project programme. Until you have edited
each working file and put it into its final form, you therefore have both an
adapted version (the working file) and
the original proposed text (in the index). When you are ready, you can rename the working file by removing
the word “work” from its name and include it in your main project programme.

The Model enables interested parties,
at their own risk, to draft their own complete self-financing, ecological,
sustainable, integrated development projects and make applications for seed
finance to cover their costs.
NGO Stichting Bakens Verzet
will, on request, prepare draft projects under the Model and funding
applications for them on the basis of information supplied by the interested
parties. For this service interested parties must raise and pay in advance a
fair (but modest) contribution towards
the out of pocket costs of the preparation of the project documents.
PROTECTION OF THE MODEL
This Model has a high social
and moral value, which must be maintained and protected. The Model cannot itself substitute for poor
quality project preparation or illegal, abusive or incompetent
project implementation.
Third parties preparing
projects under the Creative Commons Licence are therefore invited to submit
their documentation for review free of charge by Stichting Bakens Verzet
before submission to funding parties and/or implementation. (Contact us). Project review
will take place within 30 working days of receipt of the project documents. Reviewed
projects together with review comments may be published at the sole discretion
of Stichting Bakens Verzet at this website.
